1995 Conservation Management Plan
The 1995 Conservation Management Plan (CMP) is a planning document used to help guide restoration projects within the Lake Pontchartrain Basin. Although the Lake Pontchartrain Basin Restoration Program (PRP) was formally authorized in 2000, EPA funded development of the CMP which was later adopted officially by the PRP Management Conference.

2006 Comprehensive Habitat Management Plan
The Comprehensive Habitat Management Plan (CHMP) was created to provide an update to the Basin's needs and recommendations, especially in relationship to habitat management. The CHMP served as an addendum to the Saltwater Intrusion/Wetland Loss portion of the CCMP; the CHMP provided an update to this section within the CMP and responded to additional needs within the Basin.

Developing the New CCMP
The PRP currently refers to both the CMP and the CHMP as the Comprehensive Conservation Management Plan (CCMP). PRP is currently developing a new CCMP that combines and updates elements of the previous CCMP. The new CCMP will highlight current key priorities within the Basin and identify projects to address priorities. An updated CCMP will provide opportunities for stakeholder engagement and ensure that program priorities align with community needs. After the new CCMP is adopted, the PRP will review and revise the document every 5 years, or as needed. The PRP CCMP update is planned for completion in 2026.
